During colonial times, Guanajuato was consolidated as one of the most important mining centres in New Spain. The mineral wealth of the region, especially silver, attracted settlers and traders seeking to exploit its resources. In the 18th century, Guanajuato became the main source of silver for the Spanish crown, contributing significantly to the colonial economy.
This mining boom brought with it an accelerated urban growth, evidenced by the construction of imposing haciendas, temples and colonial buildings that still survive today.
However, the exploitation of resources also came at a high human cost, with indigenous and mestizo workers facing difficult conditions. The wealth generated by mining not only shaped Guanajuato's architecture and culture, but also laid the foundation for its identity as a leading historical and cultural centre in Mexico.
On this tour; you will delve into the mining history of Guanajuato, while having fun in a 4x4 vehicle.

Museo Ex-Hacienda San Gabriel de Barrera
The Ex Hacienda de San Gabriel de la Barrera is an outstanding example of colonial architecture in Guanajuato, built in the 18th century. Originally, this hacienda was a centre of agricultural and livestock production, with a focus on the exploitation of the region's natural resources. Over time, the hacienda became an important refuge for local elites, who enjoyed its beautiful garden and neoclassical architecture. In addition, the hacienda witnessed the transition of the local economy from agriculture to mining, making it a symbol of the region's agricultural history. Today, the former hacienda houses a beautiful garden and cultural spaces, serving as a reminder of Guanajuato's historical legacy.
The Castillo de Santa Cecilia, located on top of a hill, was built in the 19th century as a private residence. This building reflects the influence of the neo-Gothic architectural style and is an example of the urban development that took place in Guanajuato during this period. Originally, the property belonged to the family of a notable miner, underlining the connection between the wealth generated by mining and the architectural boom of the city. Over the years, the castle has been used for various purposes, including social and cultural events. Today, the Castillo de Santa Cecilia is not only a tourist attraction, but also a space for artistic and cultural activities, preserving the history of the Guanajuato elite.

My cousin and I went on the ATV mine/city tour and the adventure tour and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Flor was our English speaking guide and was excellent. She was kind, knowledgeable and fun! The first tour takes you to a beautiful old hacienda and two mines with a few other stops along the way. The adventure tour (our favorite) really brings you into the mountains with stops in different parts of the city as well. It was really breathtaking and exhilarating but not too scary. They will go at the pace that suits you and are always checking to make sure you are comfortable. Our quads were brand new and huge! We were only two guests but booked for four because we wanted to each have our own ATV. Flor accompanied us on the city/mine tour and for the adventure tour it was Flor and another nice gentleman. The ATV’s were extremely easy to ride and we were safely guided everywhere we went. Would 100% recommend doing this, had so much fun the first day booked agin for another. Hope to see you all again! Thank you guys, Brooke and Kim.

We thoroughly enjoyed our ATV tour around the Guanajuato area. Each family member had their own ATV, which was a great way to explore the region. The ATVs were well-maintained and easy to ride, with automatic transmissions and good brakes. The smaller size of the ATVs made it easy to navigate the streets, and they were also maneuverable.

Excellent experience, it was a super fun tour with very good views and excellent guided tours. I recommend wearing long sleeves, sunglasses and something to cover your face from the sun.

This was a fabulous experience. Our guide Michael was passionate about history and we learned so much. There were several really interesting stops and we really enjoyed the scenic views on the ATV. Note, these are two front wheeled machines and feel much different if you’re used to driving a motorcycle.

What a fun day! Wish I had a go pro so I could re-live this experience. Definitely saw some sites we would otherwise have not. Our English speaking tour guide, Michel was very knowledgeable of the hacienda, mine, castle and Guanajuato in general. He was also very good at making the experience interesting for my young son (stopping for ice cream didn't hurt 😊) and enjoyable. This tour is perfect for someone who is an experienced driver and used to ATVs (if you will be driving) and you should have a sense of adventure!
